The Church is a plain stone structure, which was rebuilt about the year 1728, on the site of the former church, whose materials were chiefly used in the construction of the present edifice. The parish register commences in 1730. The living is a perpetual curacy, a peculiar of the dean and chapter of Durham, and pays no first fruits or tenths. The parish is free of tithes, except a portion of Cold Rowley and Muggleswick, which produces about £34 per annum: the remainder of the income of the living is derived from farm-rents in the parish. Patrons, the dean and chapter; incumbent, the Rev. Cundhill. [Whellan's History, Topography and Directory of Durham (and Newcastle) (1856), page 905.]
